Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates, in general, to inner covering of harnesses for bulletproof helmets and, more particularly, to an inner covering of a harness for a bulletproof helmet, which is provided in the bulletproof helmet, thus preventing the heavy bulletproof helmet from being in direct contact with a head or a forehead of a user wearing the helmet, and thereby providing superior wearing comfort, preventing sweat from streaming down the face of the user and providing good ventilation in the summer, and being easily removed for washing. BACKGROUND ART [0002] Generally, soldiers wear bulletproof helmets due to safety hazards during military training, running or shooting practices. [0003] The conventional bulletproof helmets are made through processes of multi-layering special Kevlar plastics. The soldiers wearing the bulletproof helmets may feel burdened by the heavy weight of the bulletproof helmets. [0004] As shown in FIG. 1, a bulletproof helmet 100 includes a hemispherical suspension 110 which is made of a fiber and is provided in the bulletproof helmet 100. When a user wears the helmet 100, the hemispherical suspension 110 prevents the helmet 100 from being in direct contact with the user's head, and disperses the weight of the helmet 100. A size control band 120 is fastened to an inner surface of a rim of the hemispherical suspension 110 by a plurality of fastening clips 130 which is provided around the size control band 120 at regular intervals. The size control band 120 can adjust the size thereof according to the size of the head of the user. [0005] However, the hemispherical suspension has a band-type shape as shown in the drawing. Thus, the hemispherical suspension does not come into surface contact with the head of the user wearing the helmet, but comes into partial contact with the head. Therefore, the hemispherical suspension cannot disperse the weight of the helmet. With the passage of time, a contact part of the hemispherical suspension presses the hair or the scalp of the user, thus being tiring for the user. Furthermore, the conventional helmet cannot prevent sweat, generated from the scalp or forehead of the user, from streaming down the face of the user during military training, running or shooting practice in the summer. The streaming sweat may interrupt the training. In addition, even though the conventional helmet has the size control band, the helmet is not firmly fastened on the head of the user. Thus, the helmet may swing forwards, backwards, leftwards and rightwards. [0006] In an effort to overcome the above problems experienced in the conventional bulletproof helmet, an inner covering for a bulletproof helmet was proposed in Korean Utility Registration No. 20-264552. The conventional inner covering is as follows with reference to FIGS. 2a and 2b. [0007] The conventional inner covering includes a circular head protective part 200 having a flat surface. The inner covering further includes a sweat absorbing part 210 which is provided on a part of a circumferential edge of the head protective part 200 to correspond to the forehead of the user while being perpendicular to the head protective part 200. [0008] The sweat absorbing part 210 includes a plurality of attaching pieces 230 having Velcro tapes 220a and 220b to allow the inner covering to be mounted to a rim part 110a of the hemispherical suspension 110 of FIG. 1. The head protective part 200 is placed over the hemispherical suspension 110 without a separate mounting means. [0009] The head protective part and sweat absorbing part are integrated into a single body. However, the circular head protective part has no means for being coupled to the hemispherical suspension. Therefore, if the bulletproof helmet is removed from the user's head, the head protective part moves in the helmet without being firmly positioned. In the meantime, the sweat absorbing part is fastened to a circumferential edge of a front part of the hemispherical suspension in a winding type using the Velcro tapes. Thus, the sweat absorbing part is easily fastened to the hemispherical suspension. However, there is little space between the helmet and the rim part of the hemispherical suspension. Therefore, when the conventional inner covering is removed from the helmet to wash the inner covering, it is very difficult to detach the Velcro tapes from each other. In addition, because the sweat absorbing part has a straight body with poor ventilation, the conventional inner cover may insulate the head and excessively increase the generation of sweat in the summer. Disclosure Technical Problem [0010] Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide an inner covering of a harness for bulletproof helmets, which is provided in the bulletproof helmet, thus preventing the heavy bulletproof helmet from being in direct contact with a head or a forehead of a user wearing the helmet, providing superior wearing comfort, preventing sweat from streaming down the face of the user and providing good ventilation in the summer, and being easily removed for washing. Technical Solution [0011] In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides an inner covering of a harness for bulletproof helmets, which is provided on a size control band coupled to a rim part of a hemispherical suspension of the harness, thus protecting the head of a user wearing the helmet and absorbing sweat on the forehead of the user. The inner covering includes: a head protective part having a streamlined shape to allow a contact surface thereof to surface-contact the head of the user, with a positioning protrusion part provided on an edge of the head protective part to be placed on the rim part of the hemispherical suspension; and a plurality of fastening pieces independently sewn on a front part of the head protective part. The fastening pieces are inserted into a gap defined between the rim part of the hemispherical suspension and the size control band while being placed around the size control band. The inner covering further includes a ventilation space defined between the independent fastening pieces to allow outside air to flow into the helmet. Advantageous Effects [0012] The present invention provides an inner covering which is provided to be placed over a hemispherical suspension by a simple locking engagement, different from forced bonding ways for Velcro tapes used in conventional inner coverings, so that a coupling of the inner covering to a helmet is maintained if a user does not willfully remove the inner covering from the helmet, and, when washing of the inner covering is desired, the inner covering is simply separated from the helmet by a slight pulling force, thus being convenient to the user. [0013] Furthermore, the inner covering of the present invention has a ventilation function as well as a function of absorbing sweat. Therefore, the inner covering is beneficial to soldiers who must train frequently.
